Dennis Piszkiewicz Livres

This is the amazing story of Hanna Reitsch, one of the most celebrated women of the Third Reich, a decorated test pilot for the Luftwaffe, and a protege of Ernst Udet

This is the biography of the German man who created the V-2 rocket and came to the United States to develop missiles

Medical-products scientist Piszkiewicz reveals the dark truth behind the dream of space exploration, exposing how its developers were complicit in Nazi military ambitions. The narrative centers on Werner von Braun, who, as a leading engineer in Hitler's rocket program, joined the SS, was promoted to major, and ingratiated himself with Heinrich Himmler, the architect of the Holocaust. During the war's final years, rockets were built using slave labor in underground facilities overseen by SS General Hans Kammler, who also constructed Auschwitz, and Arthur Rudolf, von Braun's right-hand man. The conditions in these factories were horrific, with thousands perishing from starvation and abuse, and mass executions commonplace. Despite this, von Braun and his associates focused on leveraging their expertise for favorable treatment after the war. Remarkably, they continued their work in America with little disruption. While this account is not entirely new—Rudolf faced exposure as a war criminal in the late 1970s, and von Braun's past was documented but often overlooked—Piszkiewicz sheds light on the moral compromises made in the pursuit of scientific advancement, challenging readers to reconsider the legacy of these figures.

- Explores the development of the V-2 rocket - A sobering testimony to the consequences of corrupted genius Wernher von Braun is known to many as the brilliant pioneer of rocketry who left Germany after World War II to lead the United States' space program. Until now, few have realized the bloody legacy he left behind in the ruins of the Third Reich. The Nazi Rocketeers tells the story of how von Braun and his fellow rocket scientists postponed their initial dreams of space travel to create weapons of terror and mass destruction. Not only were they ambitious members of the Nazi movement, but they also, Piszkiewicz argues, collaborated with the SS in exploiting slave labor to build the V-2 rocket.
